(By the way, on legal documents (especially wills) in the US, make sure
these are always in place. There was an interpretation of a will where
some people lost considerable money because a list of heirs didn't have
one. It was a really, really stupid interpretation, but this is why we
have lawyers, unfortunately.)

You may be thinking of Bobby Brown who at one time was married to Whitney Houston.
